| - I would have to say that this place is an Arizona 5-star yelp rating. In NYC, this would be a solid 4. That out of the way, I've been here 3 times now and can say that the fish has always been very fresh on all three visits. The sake selection is great. Our favorite is the one from Toyama, which is the hometown of the owner in Japan. If you plan to go here frequently, you can buy a large bottle and they will save it for you. There are two things that make this place much more pleasant to go to than Yasu. The first is the originality in the menu items. They have an orange tuna avocado with orange-mizo glaze that I love. Mo also makes a salmon avocado roll with and entire diced soft shell crab on top. All three times, I have ordered the omakase here. And all three times, I have had new menu items. Also, all three times, I have sat at the bar which to me is a must if you are going to get omakase. The second thing that makes this place officially my favorite sushi spot in AZ is the owner and chef, Mo. He is really friendly and on our second visit he remembered us. Because of him, the whole restaurant has a laid-back, friendly appeal unlike places like Roka-Akor and Yasu which have more of an arrogant flair. This is definitely my favorite sushi joint in the valley. Can't wait to go again.
